BFCC to supply EgyptAir food

Biman Flight Catering Centre (BFCC) will supply foods to EgyptAir, reports UNB.
"We have already had an understanding with BFCC that it will supply necessary foods to the Egyptian national flag carrier," said Farhad Hossain, executive director and chief operating officer (COO) of Egypt Air Bangladesh office.
BFCC is an internationally recognised airlines catering unit of Biman. It was designed by ACCA, Australia and implemented by Scandinavian Air Services (SAS). The BFCC can supply 10,000 meals per day. During Hajj, it produces about 13,000 meals per day.
Earlier, the EgyptAir, state-owned airline of Egypt, announced to begin its regular non-stop Dhaka-Cairo-Dhaka flight operations from May 14, 2023.
As per the plan, the airline will initially operate two weekly flights between Dhaka and Cairo.
About the preference of the BFCC as the food supplier to the airlines, District Manager of Egypt Air Mostafa Magdy Hussain Elkady said that the BFCC was chosen to give priority to the taste of Bangladeshi passengers.
"The food from BFCC will be fresh as it will be supplied just before the flight's take-off. Secondly, the BFCC has been maintaining international standard in flight catering service with good reputation", he added.
Tourism industry insiders said the launch of bilateral air connectivity between Egypt and Bangladesh would create an immense opportunity in the tourism sector for both the brotherly nations.
